PAGE 14 THE SEATT History is the mighty Tower of Experience, which Time has built amidst the endleds fields of bygone ages. It is no easy task to reach the top of this ancient structure and get the benefit of the full view. There is no elevator, but young fect are strong and it can be done. Here I give you the key that will open the door. From Dr. Van Loon's letter to his sons, Hanaje and Willem, for whom he wrote “The Story of Mankind.” TTP HE reason why schoolboys furtively read dime novels under their desks during history hour is that, as a rule, novelists of the Nick Carter school have a fdr keener sense of the literary possibilities of suspended interest, dramatic situation and well-ap- proached climax than is displayed by the pedagogues, with necks cramped in the yoke of tradition, who write textbooks. As good rules work both ways, is it not reasonable to suppose that if a writer of school his- tories, with all the comedy, tragedy, adventure, mys- tery and romance of the ages to draw upon, were clever enough, he might make a textbook so thrilling and absorbing that boys would stay indoors to read it when they might be outside at play? e DR, HENDRIK VAN LOON This remarkable achievement has lately been accomplished by an American pro- fessor of history who wrote for his own children the story of mankind from the first brutish emergence of the human race down to the middle of the World War. His work is so clear and simple and so admirably balanced that it is to be doubted if the average college graduate has a more lucid conception of the history of the race than may be obtained from these pages by any bright boy of fifteen. If books of this sort should multiply and become commonly adopted for use in our public schools, American education would never be quite the same again. It might be brighter, more penetrating and fuller of the joy of living, but it would be differ- ent, very different.—Saturday Evening Post.
